Thin Reinforcement Changes Precast

The new product can reduce the weight of precast elements by 66%.

C-Grid reinforcement consists of ultra-high-strength carbon tows (small, course fibers) bonded with epoxy resin and arranged in an open grid. The new product boasts a tensile strength of 87 to 255 ksi, which makes its strength-to-weight ratio very favorable compared to reinforcing steel.
